Seller's Description:
NOTE- This is a cut-off BARREL END... NOT a whole musket... NOT a whole Barrel.
Rare old original cut-off muzzle end of .69 -.72 caliber smoothbore BARREL,
well suited for extending your cut-down muzzle loader back up to full original
length. For smoothbore muskets, fowlers, + shotguns. Careful welding can do
this. A step-joint is best in this case. Lathe-turn the ends to a tongue +
groove configuration, so a little of one piece snug fits inside the other, +
then weld the joint. The male end should be slightly longer than the female
counterpart end. This leaves a thin groove around the joint you can carefully
weld up. Or, a butt-joint weld if you are in a hurry. If so, fix it so it
cannot be loaded. If for display only, you can avoid welding altogether, by
butting up the 2 ends, + inserting a piece of tight fitting round wood dowel.
Glue may be helpful here. If your barrel is a bit slender, + my front end is a
bit wider, you can easily lathe, grind, or draw-file it down. Several
available, from unknown long gone guns, long storage, from 6 to 20 inches in
length. Specify about the length you need. All are smoothbores, none rifled. NO
SIGHTS or bayonet lugs on any of them. Most look a tiny bit over exactly .69
caliber. Probably
most likely .70-.72 cal. But will look good on your gun. A good joint + re-
finish can make it look all original. I know, I did this kind of work years
ago. Regretfully, I cannot now take in any new work. Rare item-very hard to
find today. Rare outstanding opportunity if your long gun is cut back. Specify
the shortest length you can use. Check, Mo to- MICHAEL BARNES . NO PAYPAL. No pics, but let my 4,000+ stoneman61 ebay
